The codes are divided into two levels, or groups, as described below.

Details
Level I Codes and descriptors copyrighted by the American Medical Association's current procedural terminology, fourth edition (CPT-4). These are 5 position numeric codes representing physician and non-physician services.
Level II Includes codes and descriptors copyrighted by the American Dental Association's current dental terminology, (CDT-2023). These are 5 position alpha-numeric codes comprising the d series.
All level II codes and descriptors are approved and maintained jointly by the alpha-numeric editorial panel (consisting of CMS, the Health Insurance Association of America, and the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association).
These are 5 position alpha-numeric codes representing primarily items and non-physician services that are not represented in the level I codes.
